CNN's Treatment of Muslims vs. Catholics

Neil Boortz has a telling post about CNN's recent decision not to show the offensive Muslim cartoons.

..."CNN has chosen not to show the cartoons out of respect for Islam." Well, isn't that special. Go ahead and show a painting of the Virgin Mary created out of elephant poo, but withhold the pictures of these cartoons that are causing carnage around the world. We don't want to insult Muslims, do we? Catholics? Well, apparently they're on their own.

CNN is used to selective self-righteousness. It also refused to show American hostages being decapitated in Iraq but were more than happy to show Abu Ghraib photos.
